"Hired G&R to fix up my deck, stain it, and paint a shed. The work involved replacing all of the horizontal hand rails, and tightening the floor boards. G&R stained the entire deck by hand (including the lattice work). Gave me a good price and stayed with that price. The deck was 35 years old, but you couldn't tell by looking at it now. My neighbor hired them to do some landscaping work after seeing them work on my property. Willie was easy to work with. Would definitely hired them again."

"We were very happy with our selection of ADR PRO BUILDERS LANDSCAPING in Mt. Vernon, NY . They did a wonderful job removing the existing asphalt and repaving it. They gave a very fair price, were always on time, returned calls promptly and were very easy to deal with. They also did my neighbors driveway who were also very pleased with their work. Santiago was the go-to person we dealt with. He was great! I would highly recommend this company!"

"We needed to fix our property after we hired the wrong company to do our initial work to our home. Elite was recommended to us and we knew right from the start that victor was going to straighten all the issues we were left with after terminating our first contractor. I was hesitant at first, but this company proved to me there are still honest, hardworking,experienced contractors left out there. We had a mess but not any more thanks to Victor. 10 out of 10 Lois M"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
